Unforeseen circumstances?

I don’t know if you watch the British TV program “Big Brother”. Apparently they get a load of B-list celebrities and put them in a house together, It’s a reality show. A bit like survivor but without the inconvenience of having to actually rough-it in the open. Anyway, they get to vote people out of the house. A new series just started, and the first person to be kicked out was Sylvester Stallone’s supposed “psychic” mother, Jackie Stallone. The eviction apparently came as a complete surprise to Stallone, who reportedly considered writing to the Queen to complain. But then, according to The Sun:

Jackie decided against bothering the royal family after discovering the Queen has enough to worry about.

She told Closer magazine: "The show has destroyed my reputation. I have a multi-million dollar astrology business and I get over 5,000 Brits a month writing to me about their problems.

"Now they're going to be asking for refunds.”

Well damn right they should get a refund! She’s clearly not much of a psychic or she would have seen this coming, wouldn't she? And what psychic ability told her the Queen has something to do with running the TV? I wouldn't trust this old fraud to give me advice but apparently a lot of people do, if she really does have a multi-million dollar astrology business as she claims.

Still, it’s not surprising she didn’t predict this ending. Because as we know from yesterday, astrology doesn’t work. Either psychic astrology or the regular kind.
